[SIZE=9pt]Strengths[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]:[/SIZE]

  • [SIZE=9pt]Massive Punch: The drones come loaded to the gills with missile launchers and not much else giving them a heavy punch out of proportion with the drones size. [/SIZE]

  • [SIZE=9pt]The missile launchers on the drones are able to use any standard capital-grade missiles.[/SIZE]

  • [SIZE=9pt]The tractor beams on the drones allow them to stick to asteroids and other objects where they can act as a surprise for any opponent who happens into their range.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Weaknesses[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]:[/SIZE]

  • [SIZE=9pt]One Shot: The drones are very small, and due to that each drone is only launched with the missiles available in their launch tubes. The drones need to dock with a capital ship to be able to be re-armed before they can be used again. (Depending on the battlefield the drones can not fire more than once per post)[/SIZE]

  • [SIZE=9pt]No safety in numbers: Slow for their size and possessing no defenses other than their durasteel chassis the missile drones are very vulnerable to attack. Even area of effect attacks can wipe out multiple drones at once if it catches them.[/SIZE]

  • [SIZE=9pt]Emp-ion: Any attack by an emp or ion based weapon will render the drones useless till they can be retrieved and repaired. [/SIZE]

  • [SIZE=9pt]One load out: Once launched the Dienekes is unable to adapt its weapons loadout to changing circumstances without returning to their mothership to be re-armed.[/SIZE]

  • [SIZE=9pt]Vulnerable to ECM: Due to the limited sensor and tactical packages the drones operate best when fed targeting data from a mothership, a datastream that can be interrupted by ECM.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Description[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]Droid fighters weren’t unusual, nor were drones, the mass produced robots designed with only one purpose. While they might have mostly been used to perform the simplest of tasks, John Locke felt that they had the potential to do more than that, to act in the capacity of a military force multiplier. To achieve this he loaded capital launchers on a droid fighter, stripping off everything else, weapons, shields, armour and even the advanced functions of the droid brain itself. The result was a drone incapable of use as anything but a missile platform, but, when used correctly those extra missiles could give a capital ship a very bad day.[/SIZE]
